I'm sure people will disagree with me for whatever reason, but as long as it's not oil based and there's no flowers on the plant I've never had problems spraying in the day. Usually early morning before the sun is beating down, but I've sprayed mid day as well and never had problems. If it's oil based though you definitely want to spray when the girls are out of direct light or it will burn the plants. I've never heard of White Wash, what's the active ingredient? Are you indoors or out? What stage are the plants in?
